Great Lakes Wolf Patrol Update: Wolf trap monitoring

We just checked the illegal wolf trap that was left in the ground last night, after the hunt closed at 630pm, and it had been sprung by an unknown source. Our trail camera did not capture the source. As we were checking the SD card an 1/8 mile away, wolves began howling! Also, as we walked to the trap site, a mature bald eagle landed just 20 ft from us. Look for video soon documenting the placement and checking of the trap by our monitored wolf trapper. We are headed to another area we know where wolf traps were in the ground to determine with a metal detector whether they are still illegally in the ground.
